ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
options.recordTypestringrequiredThe record type. For a list of record types, see record.Type .
options.idstringrequiredThe action ID.
options.paramsarrayrequiredAn array of parameter objects. Each object corresponds to one record ID of the record for which the action is to be executed. The object has the following form: {recordId: 1, someParam: 'example1', otherParam: 'example2'} The recordId parameter is always required, other parameters are optional and are specific to the particular action.
options.conditionstringoptionalThe condition used to select record IDs of records for which the action is to be executed. Only the action.ALL_QUALIFIED_INSTANCES constant is currently supported. The action.ALL_QUALIFIED_INSTANCES condition only works correctly if the author of the record action has implemented the findInstances method of the RecordActionQualifier interface. An example of such action is approve on the timebill and timesheet records.
options.paramCallbackstringoptionalFunction that takes record ID and returns the parameter object for the specified record ID.

Write the Mynt you wish you could write.

A good proposal shows the syntax, the SuiteScript it should become, and argues for it: why it is clearer, how it fits the rest of the language, what it makes harder.

  • Clarity. Does it say what happens, without ceremony?
  • Consistency. Does it read like load, save and Ref[field]?
  • Expressiveness. Does it cover the cases people actually write?
  • Honesty. Does it hide a NetSuite cost, such as governance, that a reader should see?
